Poetry based on the Dutch 11-word Elfje

Flying

Published March 7, 2016 by Libby

Clear
blue sky,
straight line contrails.
People flying to warmer
climes.

Keepers

Published February 29, 2016 by Libby

Deep
earth rooted,
reaching ever skyward,
ancient keepers of wisdom.
Trees.

Folly

Published February 22, 2016 by Libby

Wind
blown trees
nod and sigh
in sorrow at man’s
folly.

Without Warmth

Published February 15, 2016 by Libby

Biting
cold blue,
the sky. Sun
shines without warmth. North
wind.

Empty Space

Published February 8, 2016 by Libby

Light
shines through
the empty space
where the tree once
stood.
